A Benefit For Chi Cheng

A limited number of tickets have now been made available to the public for the Chi Cheng benefit shows this Thursday and Friday, Nov 19 and 20 at the Avalon Hollywood. If you have yet to purchase tickets, here's your last chance. The support for Chi has been overwhelming and with some surprise guests scheduled to show up, these are shaping up to be two memorable shows. Don't miss out.

The online auction benefiting The Chi Cheng Special Needs Trust launches tomorrow, Nov 17, at 12pm PST. The auction, which can be found at CharityBuzz.com/BenefitforChi, features items donated by an array of Deftones' friends including Metallica, Blink 182, HIM and System of a Down. Some of the highlights include:

-Flyaway to Helsinki, Finland to attend HIM's sold-out New Year's Eve show. Includes meet-and-greet with the band, round-trip flights, and hotel for two nights.
-A day in the studio with Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 to produce a track for your band
